Sustainability Framework Plan

St. Cloud's Sustainability Framework Plan

Sustainability is a broad concept that encompasses all aspects of municipal operations, business decisions, and residents' daily lives. The St. Cloud Area Sustainability Framework Plan positions local governments, businesses, and residents to make a global impact at a regional level.

To put some structure to this all encompassing concept, the Sustainability Framework Plan outlines a vision and goals, as well as recommends local implementation actions in 17 Best Practice Areas (BPA). The BPA toolboxes also include a sampling of other actions being taken across the country and the world that might be considered for local implementation.
